Chicago,. Nov. 16. That Herman
Rlllek, the Bohemian hypnotist and
fortujne teller who was convicted of
the murder of several members of the
Vrzal family, is legally dead, is the
novel plea to be made by Attorney
Hinckley before Judge Barnes in an
attempt to save Blllejc from the gal
lows when the court convenes to pro
nounce sentence on ' the "evil-eye"
poisoner tomorrow,.
: Blllek was sentenced tcTbe hanged
last summer. The day of execution
came, but the United States court took
a hand In the case and Billek was
given leave to appeal to the supreme
court of the United States. That court
found that it had no jurimlictlon and
the' cane came back to Judge Barnes
for re-sentence. It is now claimed
that In the absence of any order re
scinding or postponing the ' previous
sentence of death, Blllek, in legal
theory. Is alreSdy dead, and hence can
not be sentenced to pay any penalty
whatsoever. '
It Is not considered likely that this
plea will be upheld by the court, and
it Is highly probable that the arch
rnvlsoner will again be sentenced to be
Catholic priests and sisters have been
active In attempting to prove Blllek's
Innocence, but while their efforts have
tende1 t0 discredit some of the evl-
dence adduced at the trial, it has not
been sufficient to remove Blllek from.
the shadow o fthe gallows.
